PSV Eindhoven 2 - 0 Arsenal
this was really a big surprise, but also the arsenal coach was very wrong in not having put gabriel jesus right at the beginning of the game, what did he expect? that PSV would be such a weak team that they couldn't win even if Arsenal didn't play very seriously? Or is it that Arsenal doesn't take europa league seriously?
I think, Arsenal coach did not expect such performance from PSV Eindhoven that made him to bench some of their talented players in the first half hoping PSV Eindhoven cannot withstand them in this UEFA champions competition. Many people predicted for the favour of Arsenal but the match turned out for the favour of PSV Eindhoven 2-0 that made many people to experience loss from their prediction. I believe, Arsenal coach has learned lesson from this match that will make him not to look any team as a small team than to play them like big team to achieve victory at the end of the match.
Last night's game really surprised us, Ruud Van Nistelrooy's men played aggressively from the first minute.
as I posted earlier that PSV will attack from the early minutes. however, to his surprise the Gunners were completely helpless last night.
in the first half, PSV really did not benefit with two goals that the referee ruled out and var. it seems to make PSV players quite frustrated, especially Xavi Simons. but in the end, they were able to find the net for the Gunners in the second half. and at the same time have the opportunity to take first place, if in the next match Arsenal slips again.
on the other hand, Arsenal are completely helpless with some of their core players on the bench. Arteta is surprised, because this is not what Arteta expected.
